Tenants Queensland welcomes the introduction of the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024.
Tenants Queensland CEO, Ms Penny Carr, said, “I have just come out of Parliament House and I have watched the passage of the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024. It is a good day for renters, there are many good reforms in the package that will improve the situation for people living in rented homes across Queensland. But there are two more things that we have to do that were not in that package today:
1. We need to limits the amount rents can rise on an annual basis
2. We need to truly end termination of tenancies without grounds. That means removing the end of a fixed term as a reason to end a tenancy.
However today is a day for celebration and I want to congratulate the Government for all the good work that they have done to get this Bill through today.
